Court Judgment Enforcement Procedures in Saudi Arabia & Egypt | B2B Law 2026

Introduction: Judgment Enforcement Is What Protects Your Business
For companies operating in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and across regional markets, commercial disputes are increasingly common — delayed payments, breached contracts, failed joint ventures, overdue invoices, and other financial claims. Many businesses successfully litigate and obtain final court judgments confirming their rights.
However, the challenge begins after the win:
A judgment is the recognition of a right…
Enforcement is the recovery of that right.
Without a solid execution plan, companies may face:
Debtors hiding or transferring assets
Years of lost revenue
Operational delays and liquidity stress
Erosion of shareholder and investor confidence
B2B, a law firm focused exclusively on corporate debt collection and judgment enforcement, ensures that court rulings are turned into real financial outcomes.
This article provides companies with a professional roadmap on how enforcement works — and how to make it fast, effective, and strategically advantageous.

1️⃣ Understanding Judgment Enforcement
A court judgment requires an execution phase to:
Collect awarded funds
Seize assets and sell them if necessary
Enforce specific contractual obligations
Stop harmful business conduct
Ensure legal accountability
Enforcement converts justice into business results.

2️⃣ Key Enforcement Authorities
Saudi Arabia
Enforcement Courts
Saudi Ministry of Justice platforms (Najiz)
Enforcement judges with broad powers
Egypt
Court of First Instance (execution departments)
Economic Courts for commercial judgments
Execution officers / enforcement bodies
These authorities coordinate with banks, land registries, transportation authorities, and regulatory entities to trace and seize assets.

3️⃣ Filing the Enforcement Request
Before filing:
✔ Ensure judgment is final and enforceable
✔ Prepare complete documentation
✔ Identify debtor assets to avoid delays
Typical documents:
Document
Purpose
Final court judgment
Proof of enforceable right
Commercial licenses

Clarify amount due
